Chapter 48 Waiting for news

"Miss..." Walking quickly, Luzhu tugged at my sleeve and pointed to the right, "Miss, look over there."

Yinhonglou and Qingguohou's Mansion happened to be in two directions. In order not to lose sight of the facts, we took a detour to the side of the Houye's Mansion and returned to the General's Mansion from the main road.

Green Pearl refers to the foot of the wall on the other side of the alley, where a child in ragged clothes is squatting, holding his legs with his hands, crying sadly.

"Miss, it's that thief." Luzhu instinctively rejected her, and her voice raised a lot. The child seemed to hear the voice, and slowly raised her head to look over. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered with tears. , it seems that it is very pitiful.

but……

The world is so big, there are so many poor people, this child just stole the purse and sent it back, there is no intersection other than that, I don't need to care about her crying or laughing, just call Luzhu and leave.

The two of us walked for a while and felt something was wrong. Looking back, I found that the child was crying and following behind me. I frowned slightly and speeded up. When I turned around, she was still there, but she was crying more fiercely.

I was a little irritable, so I asked her coldly, "What are you following me for?"

She didn't speak, just kept crying.The little shoulders shrugged, and I realized that she had a cloth wrapped around her arm.

My heart softened, and I told Luzhu, "Go and give her some money."

Luzhu responded, and poured out some broken silver from the purse. After thinking for a while, she took out a whole piece of ten taels of silver, walked over and put it in her hand, and said in a low voice, "Take it to buy some food. Well, be a good person in the future and stop stealing things."

The child held the silver taels with both hands, but cried even harder, with big strings of tears falling down.I can't see people crying and turning around and leaving.

"elder sister……"

She suddenly called out from behind, her voice weak.

I ignored it and continued walking. She ran a few steps and shouted again, "Sister, my family is gone. Only one grandma died a few days ago, and there will be no relatives in the future."

She cried sadly, and I felt very uncomfortable.

I have no relatives anymore, my father, mother, and younger sister are all gone...

I looked at the child and said, "Go back and freshen up, crying all the time won't solve the problem."

Although they are not here, life still has to go on, there is still a long way to go, I have to walk steadily, step by step, until my wings are full, it will be the time for my Feng family to avenge their hatred!
That day won't be too far away...

"Sister..." The child wiped his tears with his torn sleeve, and said timidly, "Sister is a good person, let Chu Qi follow you."

nice guy?Ah……

I laughed.

How could I be a good person, I was not before, and I will not be in the future.

I ignored her, I turned around and left, and the child burst into tears, "Sister, don't go, Chu Qi doesn't want money, Chu Qi wants a sister, you let Chu Qi follow you..."

Seeing that I didn't look back, she was crying and chasing after me, "Sister, Chu Qi doesn't eat rice, Chu Qi is very good, Chu Qi can shoot a slingshot, can climb over walls, Chu Qi can run very fast, and can do anything Fuck, Chu Qi doesn’t eat much and is very obedient, sister please, don’t want me, please sister... Chu Qi is no longer a thief..."

While running, she staggered and fell to the ground. She didn't know where it hurt from the fall or what, but she sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Luzhu was so soft-hearted from crying, she tugged on my sleeve twice, "Miss, when I was going out today, I just heard the housekeeper said that the kitchen is short of staff. Why don't we let her follow us, this child is so small, throwing it outside, I'm afraid It won't last long."

I felt a little uncomfortable when she was crying, and I was actually a little moved. If there is a place to rely on, who would like to rely on others...

Well, just follow along.

I nodded, and Chu Qi stopped crying immediately, and ran over limping from the ground, not daring to get too close, and kept bending over to salute.It made me a little dumbfounded.

I am still a child now, and I even accepted a little kid, hey...

She was dressed too shabby, so I couldn't bring her back like this. I remembered that there was a clothes shop in this alley, so I led her there and changed her into a sarong. The shop owner brought a soaked towel, and she carefully put it After wiping her face clean and combing her hair, her big eyes were drooping, and she was shy and coquettish.

Luzhu immediately said, "Hey, people really depend on their clothes and horses on their saddles. After cleaning up like this, she is really a little beauty."

Chu Qi blushed and lowered her head timidly.

After so much tossing, it was already noon, and I was afraid that it would be too late, so I took the two of them back to the general's mansion quickly.Ask Lu Zhu to take Chu Qi to the housekeeper, and I will go back to the small courtyard alone, pay out Qing Teng and others, and quickly take out some of the things Li Jiu bought.

While there was no one around, I took out Mr. Yuliang's paper handle, carefully memorized the details, then took the Four Treasures of the Study, spread the paper with a paperweight, and wrote out a sentence bit by bit: Wei Shizhong See you at Qing'an Temple, be careful and secretive.

After I finished writing, I carefully examined it and felt that it was enough to distinguish the fake from the real, so I took the gem paper that Qiao Qi brought out, and wrote this sentence in two, dried the ink, folded it into a ball, and took two halves of the wax pill shell, Coat some white phosphorus on the outside of the paper ball, and then quickly stuff it into a wax shell to seal it into a wax pill.According to the law, another paper ball was made into a wax pill.

Almost as soon as this was done, Lu Zhu came back, unexpectedly, she was followed by Chu Qi.

"What's the matter, the housekeeper doesn't agree with her entering the house?"

Luzhu hurriedly said, "No, Miss. The servant went to talk to the steward about the sale. The steward said that the miss was kind-hearted, and said that the miss was the eldest daughter of our general's mansion. Since she brought her back, she will return to our courtyard. The servant I just took her to find the way in the mansion, and I thought about taking her over and asking Miss, how does this girl arrange it."

I nodded. Uncle the housekeeper is not bad. "In that case, let her live with Qingteng first."

"Yes." Luzhu replied, and asked strangely when she saw the things on my table. "Miss, what is this?"

I was too lazy to explain, but what I was thinking in my mind was how to quickly send out these two wax pills separately...

"Sister, what can Chu Qi do for you?" The little girl seemed to have noticed something, and approached timidly.

I looked down at her big watery eyes, and thought of that day when she slid down from the window of the restaurant, I suddenly paid attention.

"You said before that you can climb over walls and shoot slingshots?"

"Chuqi is good at hitting." She quickly took out a small wooden slingshot from her sleeve, found a stone from nowhere, stepped back a few steps and aimed with her eyes closed, and with a snap, the stone hit the stool leg, The stool is under force, turning in a circle...

"Not bad, quite accurate." I smiled slightly.

Chu Qi blushed and said, "Sister, can Chu Qi help you?"

I smiled slightly, and handed the two wax pills to her. Then, I took another piece of straw paper and drew two routes for her, "Throw the two things into the windows of the two rooms, and you can't be seen by others. Can it be done?"

Chu Qi nodded, looked at the two pieces of paper, pointed to one of them and said, "Sister Luzhu led Chu Qi just past this place, there is a tree in front of the door, and the wall is next to the tree, so go faster, so you won't be caught found."

I nodded, "That's good, you can go now. Lu Zhu, take her to the kitchen and make some sugar water for me."

"Yes." Luzhu nodded, and the two left the room.

Instead, I sat back on the chair, poured myself a cup of tea, and sipped it slowly. After two cups of tea, Luzhu came back with sugar water, and said softly, "Miss, Chu Qi is back and said that the matter is done.

She said that the second lady didn't react when she saw this, but the third lady was very vigilant. She was almost discovered, and she hid for a long time before she dared to sneak back. "

I smiled slightly, the third lady is of course alert, she has suffered a loss once, she will naturally learn to be smarter.

"Did anyone find out that Chu Qi went out?"

Luzhu shook her head and said, "She jumped out of the window and jumped back again. The little girl is very sensitive. The mother-in-law was ordered by the servant to guard the door, and the servant kept pretending to scold her for being too stupid when she was new. No one noticed that she had been out."

I nodded and took a sip of the tea ceremony, "You go to find out the news later, and see if the third lady has gone to worship the Buddha and offer incense this afternoon."
